Chores

So I've been busy in the last week, but not in a fun way. Due to certain future events, I am definitely feeling the crunch to make sure the house is presentable. In addition, I've had more chores to do than usual. Just last night (after 8:30) I sorted and washed about a gallon of strawberries, put away dishes, washed dishes, did laundry, cleaned up, made bread, and wrote characters up for a game my sister is running (which is starting to feel a little like a chore). And that's on top of making plans, doing the calendar, folding laundry, making Addy's bed, doing more dishes, making dinner/tea, taking Addy out to pick strawberries, paying bills, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not trying to make you all think I do a lot of chores. But it still feels like a lot of chores to me. And if not chores, then responsibilities, such as scouting and taking Addy swimming. I've written very little in the last week, and in the last 3 days I've actually felt like writing is the last thing I want to do. I had to force myself to write up those characters, and I usually find that enjoyable (the only reason I did was because I didn't have the time to actually get into real writing).

So, no, I have not written much recently. I need to get back into the mindset of writing. It feels like I'm struggling with a combination of writer's block and writer's blockade. When I find a small time to write, I don't feel like it.
